• Comment: The subject is covered by economic times india, which is a reputable source here in India and world. As for the concern regarding funding articles, tech crunch and Entrepreneur not just mention funding but also discusses the Shiprockets functionality, and they both are notable.

@User:Mdvrtauseefno source gives any indepth coverage. Run of the mill companies have usual PR coverage, that does not make them pass GNG. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 17:35, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

• Delete: An article on a company, largely describing its start-up funding, appointments and being one of 15 recipients of a non-notable award. The factual accuracy appears questionable: the article says Shiprocket started in 2017, but their website says 2012; the relations of this product proposition with Kartrocket and BigFoot Retail Solutions are not covered. Aside from routine coverage of company announcements, there are advertorial supporting references (e.g. The Asian Age). The company has had coverage of another funding announcement this month [1] but I am not seeing evidence of attained notability. AllyD (talk) 06:59, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
• Delete AllyD's analysis seems wholly acceptable: dubious sourcing combined with a dearth of reliable sourcing is a pretty-slam dunk NCORP fail. ——Serial ^# 12:32, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
